Automating Training in Heat Treating: The Power of the MTI Online Academy

Posted By: Tom Morrison Community,

In today's rapidly evolving heat treating landscape, staying current with training and audit compliance standards is crucial. With retirees potentially leaving early, with the decades of knowledge, passing on that knowledge to the younger workforce is critical to your company’s future. Online training provides a robust and efficient solution for your HR and quality department to automate and enhance the training process, providing numerous benefits for your heat treat plants.

Here is why you should consider automating your training process with MTI’s Online Academy:

Efficiency and Accessibility

MTI’s online training platform provides 24/7 access to training materials, allowing employees to learn at their own pace, and on their own schedule. This flexibility reduces downtime and ensures that all employees can access the training they need without interrupting production schedules.

Standardization and Consistency

One of the primary advantages of online training is the ability to standardize content delivery. Every employee receives the same training, ensuring consistent knowledge and skills across the workforce. This consistency is particularly important in maintaining high-quality standards and compliance with industry regulations. MTI’s Online Academy meets the training requirements for Nadcap, ARP 1962, ISO 9000, AS 9100, CQI-9, and other audit compliance standards. MTI has (7) certificate programs available for you to choose from for every employee.

Real-Time Tracking and Reporting

The MTI Academy comes with tracking and reporting features. Managers can easily monitor employee progress, identify who has completed training, and ensure compliance with mandatory training requirements. This real-time data helps in identifying gaps and addressing them promptly.

Cost-Effectiveness

By reducing the need for physical training sessions, travel, and printed materials, online training significantly cuts costs. The annual fixed cost investment in the MTI Academy corporate subscription is quickly offset by these savings, making it a cost-effective solution for ongoing employee development.  MTI’s Online Academy investment is the best deal in heat treating.

Scalability

As your plant grows and evolves, the MTI Online Academy can easily scale to accommodate new employees. This scalability ensures that the training program can keep up with the demands of your changing workforce without requiring significant additional resources.

Interactive and Engaging Content

MTI’s online training platforms includes videos, reading material, and tests, which enhance engagement and retention. At the conclusion of every course or certificate program, every learner receives a passing certificate that can be printed or kept online. Your training administrator on your account can view or print any certificate at any time.

Continuous Improvement and Updates

The MTI Online Academy allows for easy updates and recertification of workers to demonstrate continuous improvements for audit compliance.

Enhancing Safety and Compliance

For heat treat plants, safety and quality are paramount. MTI’s Online Academy ensures that all employees are well-versed in safety and quality protocols and procedures.  For any audit from OSHA or heat treating auditing groups, you are able to easily print off certificates showing your employees have taken the necessary training for compliance.
